Reliable Dewatering Process

Vertical Dewaterer

The Vertical Dewaterer is used as a dewatering treatment prior to the roller press and can also be used as a stand-alone piece of equipment to thicken material for digestion or further treatment.

GEA Vertical Dewaterer in operation

The liquid regulator tank regulates the flow coming into the Vertical Dewaterer to ensure a smooth and effective dewatering treatment. The vertical Dewaterer is used as an up-stream dewatering treatment prior to the roller press. It can also be used as a stand-alone piece of equipment to thicken material for digestion or further treatment.

Liquid removal is done without pressure on the screen. A large heavy-duty auger moves the solid material to the top exit of the device while the liquid flows by gravity through the screen openings without pressure.

The solid output ranges between 17-18%*.
